Chapter 218
"smell good……"
After staying up until midnight, Cuiqin dozed off for a while, but was woken up by the smell outside.
Xiruo also went out to take a look and came back and told Cuiqin: "They are setting up a shed to cook rice porridge outside."
Very strong rice aroma.
Cuiqin walked up to Lin Yunwan and asked, "Princess, did you ask Mr. Xu to order someone to boil it?"
Lin Yunwan couldn't sleep either.
She pulled off the blanket from her body, covering it only from her chest down, and said, "The victims outside have been waiting for so long. They will definitely not care about rushing to the city gate when they smell the fragrance of rice."
Cuiqin was also someone who had suffered from hunger. She said, "Then we go out to give porridge and we can stabilize them first."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
Xiruo and Cuiqin said: "It's too late to build a shelter from the rain now. The princess has also arranged for people to go out and collect the houses of residents outside the city and build sheds to shelter from the rain."
After hearing this, Cuiqin felt relieved, and she said happily: "With a place to hide from the rain, they won't make trouble, and it's time for the prince to come back..."
Lin Yunwan quietly held the hot tea.
If everything goes well, Jiang Qian will be fine this time when Qi Lingheng comes back to take charge of the situation.
Not long after, there was a call outside.
Xiruo's eyes were bright: "It's past time, and the rain seems to have lightened up a lot."
Lin Yunwan stood up and said, "Go out and take a look."
Cuiqin also wanted to go out and quickly got Lin Yunwan a raincoat and an oil-paper umbrella.
Master and servant went up to the tower together.
The road was slippery on a rainy day, and there were a few tall and round servant girls following behind to help keep an eye on Lin Yunwan.
"Princess, look!"
"Carloads of rice porridge have gone out, and the victims have dispersed. Only the scholars of Qingou Academy are left."
There were torches underneath, it was bright, and there were people everywhere.
Lin Yunwan looked at the place covered with raincoats. Those scholars were still unwilling to leave the books they were guarding.
Xu Tianyou rode over, brought a team of people, and said seriously to the scholars: "Let's all go eat porridge! We will move these to the city, but you can't go in."
Everyone in Qingou Academy breathed a sigh of relief.
But a scholar rushed out and said: "Why should we believe you! You have kept us outside for so long! I don't believe you can take good care of our books!"
Xu Tianyou raised his gun.
But he did not point at the reckless scholar, but held it tightly in his hand, suppressed his anger, and said loudly: "You are the only ones who are getting wet in the rain? My brothers and I have also been in the rain for several days!"
"If it hadn't been for...the orders from the people above...I wouldn't have had to come here to lie to you in the rain!"
The scholars of Qingou Academy became loose.
A scholar who was all wet came out and asked, "May I ask, sir, who gave the order?"
"Xia Jin, don't talk so much to him! Who knows if he lied to us!"
Xia Jin turned around and said to his classmates: "If he really wants to deceive us, there is really no need to go through all the trouble of moving this time."
"Everyone, look over there. The porridge shed has been erected. We are people who read the books of sages. Now that we have kept the books of sages, we should become sages instead of wasting time here."
What he said made sense and immediately inspired other people.
"That's right. If everyone still has the strength, why not help with porridge."
"The porridge seems to be enough, but the manpower is not enough. The elderly, children, and women are all still hungry!"
Xu Tianyou looked at Xia Jin and loosened his grip on the gun.
Not all of these scholars are idiots.
Xia Jin said loudly: "Leave the book to them! Let's do what we can."
"If something goes wrong with the book, it's not too late for us to figure it out."
Someone knew Xu Tianyou and said, "I know him! He is the legitimate son of Commander Jiang Qianwei. Xu Tianyou, if our books are destroyed, we will go find him later!"
"In this case... let's go, let's go!"
The scholars gradually dispersed, and the few who were unconvinced were out of control.
Xia Jin hadn't left yet, so he bowed to Xu Tianyou: "Thank you very much."
Xu Tianyou said: "I should be the one thanking you. Which aristocratic family does Jiang Qian come from?"
Xia Jin said: "My surname is Xia. I am from Yu. My whole family is now in the capital, and I came to Jiangqian to study alone."
Xu Tianyou clasped his fists at him and said, "Mr. Xiaoxia, leave these books to us. You can also go and have something to eat."
Xia Jin nodded, and finally couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, sir, who ordered you to escort the book into the city?"
The horse sneezed loudly, it was too cold.
Xu Tianyou didn't want to say anything at first, but he took a look at the tower and saw that his wife had accompanied the princess to see what was going on downstairs.
He said calmly: "Princess Huan."
Xu Tianyou and his brothers said: "Let's move them! Be careful not to drop the books in the water. These books are too damp. Put them on a layer of hay after entering the city."
Xia Jin was still shocked.
"Princess Huan?"
Not an official, not a respectable son of a wealthy family, but Princess Huan!
He also followed Xu Tianyou and looked towards the tower. The firelight reflected a woman. He didn't even need to get closer to see that she was extremely beautiful.
"princess……"
"She must be a princess who reads and loves books."
Xia Jin suddenly remembered Lin's dead legitimate daughter.
He also thought of the legitimate daughter of the Lin family of the Jiang Qianwang clan. After meeting her by chance at Ci'en Temple, he never had the chance to see her again. Later, he heard that the legitimate daughter of the Lin family married King Huan.
King Huan was once a student of Taifu Lin.
"Will..."
Xia Jin's throat was choked, it couldn't be such a coincidence!
He looked up at the woman and actually smiled.
"If it's really her, she's not dead... wouldn't that be a good thing?"
Xia Jin walked to his classmates and helped to give them porridge when they were hungry.
They were hungry and they swallowed secretly, but they were still smiling.
"The Lin family's porridge shack, the Huan Prince's palace's porridge shack, the Lu family's porridge shack, and the Zhang family, Xu family, and Chen family..."
The victims and scholars clearly remembered the families who gave porridge.
City officials are also taking notes.
From now on, these will be their political achievements and the glory of these soup kitchen clans.
Lin Yunwan also has a copy.
She frowned and said, "There is no Su family?"
How is this possible? She has already told the Su family, and Mr. Su's kind-hearted character will never sit idly by.
Xiruo said: "I'll go and find out."
She asked Xu Tianyou. After Xu Tianyou moved the books, he stood guard at the city gate and was responsible for the entry and exit of rice porridge, carriages, horses and people.
He flipped through the book and said, "Only two people went out with the Su family's porridge cart and the Lin family."
Xiruo's original words were conveyed to Lin Yunwan.
Lin Yunwan shook her head and said: "The Lin family must have taken the initiative to say that they took over this matter, and it was blamed on the two families. In fact, when they were giving porridge, they only mentioned the Lin family and not the Su family. There are only two people in the Su family, so what can they do? It’s not just watching with frustration.”
Xiruo said sharply: "This money came from the account they owed to the Su family."
Lin Yunwan said: "First go and add the Su family's tricks next to the shed in Prince Huan's Mansion. Then you can find someone to invite Mr. Su and his son over."
Xiruo sighed: "Master Su will suffer a big loss in the hands of the Lin family."
Lin Yunwan couldn't just look on coldly, but she couldn't take action every time. Master Su himself had to know how to be careful.
